hi im new here, reading your tuts to try unprotect map, ive worked out why some people cant get the file list to work, if you copy and paste the list from your tut, there is a space at the end of each line which needs to be removed. and thats as far as ive got so far. going to work on the next bit now

[Darimus]

Haha if they are too lazy to type it they probably deserve it :O

anyways... good find

You can just follow the tutorial... if you find war3map.j you can easily unprotect it

[Kegsta]

heh yep im doing ae4 dota, i dont care about the triggers, they need to stay the same. i just want to edit units ive got into the world editor with it, ive extracted the script file. im sure i can get it eventually. but it keeps saving as an expansion file, i still have heaps of unknowns im trying to work out aswell, good fun

edit: maybe i should just uninstall TFT

[andrelimfj]

please tell me how to see triggers in an unprotected map......

[Darimus]

IT WORKS FINE FOR TFT!

Read tutorial again if it doesn't work. :P

[DisTurBeD-OrC]

Darimus, when i open up the program it wil only let me open regular maps. I can't open the map I want to unprotect because it for tft. What am I doing wrong?

[ish_BaLLz]

I want to know how to have trees grow back after a certain amount of time... say 3 seconds. How would you achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

[Egeozcan]

My english is not good enough perhaps... I couldn't understand some steps

[The_Raven7]

ok, i still do the steps, but it still says "unit/trigger data is missing or corrupted" which is basically how it was before removing the unknowns in the first place!

what could i be doing wrong?

[IceDevil9]

Wow, unprotecting, Map Making's gone a long way since my day...

just type *.* in the box when your looking for the map and the w3x files also come up.

i ended up sucessfully editing dota. i made a few different versions. 2 heros each in 1 version and the ability to select multiple of the same hero.

a few things i found out that should be noted.

dont try to edit the string file war3map.wts in notepad, it screws it up, it has hidden data in it which are erased. use a hex editor.

the program unproteqor restores the gui triggers so they are viewable in world editor, but trying to save the file was a no go. i lost 1/2 the data.

war3map.wts only contains 1/2 the strings, i have no idea where the rest are.

i edited dota AE4 entirly without using the world editor. a days work and i had it down. Jass code is very similar to java or C.

does anyone know what file the items/unit data is in, and if its possible to edit without the world editor?

check out my maps at www.clanward.net

thx darimus your guide is fantastic.

Ok try this.

Events
Destructable - Destructable Dies - Select Tree

Conditions
None

Actions
Wait - Wait 3.00 Seconds
Destructible - Create - Create a Your destructible here at The region you want facing Random Angle with scale 1.00 and variation 0.

That's probably not right, the bottom part is, but I somehow don't think the top is.

I apologise, I just upgraded my TFT and cracked open the WE again for the first time in months.

[tassadar920]

I think destructable a destructable dies is right... im not on we right now tho.

Hey this is sad... I have a question!!

How do you make a trigger re-fire part of its actions, but not the rest, and keep doing them as long as something is true?

[IceDevil9]

I don't think you can do that. You may just need to spereate the actions into various triggers then use other various triggers to run those.

You can turn a trigger off then have it 'Run' but not turn it on. But doing what you said, I don't think is possible.

-Frank :cool:

[tassadar920]

ah nvm i found the answer, you make a for loop that only runs its condiitions if a variable is true.

Ah yes, forgot the for loop. I remmbered it right before you posted. I was gunna' edit it, but...

[psychomonk]

Really great tutorial!!! Only thing is you never say how to unprotect maps with a Scripts\war3map.j file instead of just war3map.j. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
